| The UK gas system has moved closer to balance this morning despite weaker supply and a drop in LNG send-outs. Carbon and power markets have eased as wind generation is strong and milder weather is expected over the next few days; this has resulted in small losses across the gas curve. | Power prices have turned bearish this morning, dictated by weaker coal, gas and carbon. Wind production is high, as expected and milder weather is forecast as we head towards the weekend. |
